how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?
-
Plex and Plexamp. I know the dislike for Plex here, but it works for me and Plexamp is a fantastic piece of kit which, in opinion is worth the lifetime sub alone.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Plexamp is mind blowingly good. Great UX. Perfect reliability. No discovery/ads up in your face. Just you listening to your music how you like it. Streaming is ROCK SOLID. Downloads work flawlessly. It just relies on proper metadata in Plex.

right now I'm trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.
i need it to be remotely controllable, it'd be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?
I've dabbled with the "____sonic" ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.
just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!
thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.
(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)
Have always preferred Emby. Have been running it for around 8 years.

What did you dislike about synfonium? I'm considering switching since I don't have a plex subscription anyway so I did not get to enjoy the sonic analysis featured etc.
I can't say there was anything that I really disliked about it, I actually really liked the app overall but I've been using Plexamp since basically the first public release so that just feels a bit more familiar. Plus I heavily use the sonic analysis features which I don't believe exist outside of plexamp (please someone tell me if I'm wrong here).

VM having a EXT4 disk on a ZFS storage.
Files are (usually) FLAC
Files are ripped from CD with Exact Audio Copy (EAC)
Alternatively they are bought or 'lent' out
Files are managed by Lidarr.
Jellyfin for streaming.
On mobile I use Symfonium (alternative: FinAmp or Gelli).Basically my setup but without ZFS (kept randomly crashing entirely, probably not a great nvme) or ripped CDs, haven't had a disk drive in over a decade lol

The ZFS is in my case just TrueNAS. Can't trust myself setting that up

I tried to set mine up through Proxmox, after 3-10 days the whole ZFS pool would crash and I'd have to reboot the machine to get it functional again. I'm sure I either did something wrong with config or the 4 year old consumer nvme I had it set up on just couldn't handle it lol

Maybe the disk was running out of spare storage cells and ate into the actual data partition and corrupting the data table (if that's even possible)

I use navidrome for the streaming and lidarr for downloads. I am not totally thrilled with navidrome as I can not play genres. I want to setup an icecast streaming server with individual "channels" for each genre

MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.

Yep same, Plexamp is the reason I used plex still

I've seen this a couple times but haven't looked into it until now! do you play with this?
-
slsk and nicotine+ have been so cool for so long!
i feel bad when im likely destroying someone's uploads because i found a hidden treasure of FLACs from some older or obscure artists
Don't feel bad, just share back
